Most of the graphics on pages
8 and up were geoPaint files downloaded from Q-Link, a Commodore-specific
on-line service that flourished in the 1980s and early '90s. Some of these
were hand-drawn, others were converted from MacPaint. A few of them come
from disks distributed by individuals and organizations. The geoPaint
files were converted from the proprietary GEOS USR format to Commodore SEQ
format using a GEOS utility, Convert. They were then transferred to PC
compatible format using Big Blue Reader, and finally changed to PC bitmap
files using a small program called CBM2BMP, which nicely changes almost
any Commodore graphic to a bitmap.
